Hydroponic farms run on recirculated water and nutrients.  The system grows fruits and vegetables in a fraction of the time it takes to produce our food in soil.  Some farmers grow over two acres of crops every 90 days in a 30-foot, temperature-controlled container, using ambient light and nutrients in moving water.  Learn what these urban farmers are building and growing in their water-based farms.
